Following the directive of Ilham Aliyev, a new batch of humanitarian assistance was dispatched from Baku to the Islamic Republic of Iran on April 4. AzerNEWS reports that the convoy, consisting of 10 trucks, crossed the border through the Astara State Border Checkpoint.
The aid package totaled 200 tons, including 190 tons of food and grocery products, 7 tons of medicines, and 3 tons of medical supplies.
This delivery aligns with a telephone conversation held on March 8, 2026, between Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Massoud Pezeshkian. The initiative aims to support the neighboring Iranian population and address urgent humanitarian needs.
Azerbaijan’s humanitarian assistance underscores the strong neighborly and friendly ties between the two countries, highlighting a commitment to regional cooperation and solidarity in times of need.
